Dear Chris and Enid,

In 1920 after only four years on 19th Avenue, the Morry Family moved a few blocks away to 1557 16th Avenue North (now 1557 East Garfield Street). The home was roomy but perhaps the main impetus for the move was that it was in a better area just a block away from Volunteer Park, Capitol Hill's fabled parkland.

The Morrys lived in this house longer than in any other home. George William Morry died there in 1926. The five Morry children all finished their schooling there and moved on to the working world.

Unlike with past homes, neither the Dunfords nor the Grants came to join the Morrys there for an extended stay. However, in 1939 when Jack Dunford fell ill with stomach cancer, he and Margaret moved in with Mary Morry and Rose and Ellen plus George Joseph. By then Lucile was away teaching and Josephine was in the convent in Oregon. The Dunfords had been living at their Mercer Island property and probably moved in with the Morrys in the city to be nearer to medical treatment for Jack. Jack died in this home in 1940.

After Jack Dunford died, Margaret sold her Mercer Island and Capitol Hill properties. Mary Morry sold the 16th Avenue home. They then moved together into a home on 15th Avenue (now East) directly across the street from Volunteer Park which was purchased by Margaret. (I presume Mary did not share in ownership because she needed the funds from her house sale for basic living expenses because George William Morry had died so long before.) This 15th Avenue home was demolished for a condominium but I sent you previously historical photos on June 2, 2020.

Rose and Ellen lived with Margaret and Mary and basically cared for them for the rest of their lives. They lived in the 15th Avenue home until Mary Morry died in 1958. Margaret then sold the house. Thereafter Rose and Ellen lived in Capitol Hill apartments. Margaret lived with them in the first of these units until she died in 1960.

My father George Joseph Morry (other than for a temporary work absence in Dallas, Texas) lived with his mother, aunt and sisters first in the 16th Avenue house and then in the 15th Avenue house until he married my mother in 1942.

When I tried to send this message with photos attached there was a problem so I am sending the text now only. The photos will hopefully follow in a separate email.

All the Best,

Rick
